god is dead [bìfoto award]

The BìFoto Award is the biennial competition through which three photographic projects are selected to be exhibited, alongside leading national and international photographers, at the 16th edition of BìFoto Fest – International Festival of Photography in Sardinia (Italy), which will open in Mogoro on October 10, 2026.

Each year, the Festival’s artistic directors assign a theme to the edition, drawing inspiration from a song or an album by renowned Italian and international artists. From De André to Eddie Vedder, from Vinicio Capossela to Subsonica, as well as Brunori Sas and Johnny Cash, photographers are invited to reflect on and engage with major contemporary issues.

The song chosen as the guiding thread of the 16th edition of BìFoto Fest is “Dio è morto” by the Italian band Nomadi, a song that speaks of disillusionment and a sense of loss, portraying a world that feels adrift, yet still hinting at the possibility of a fragile but necessary renewal.
